RHEA-2014:0853 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

OpenStack Compute service packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack
Platform 5.0 (Icehouse) for RHEL 7 are now available.

Description

Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform provides the facilities for
building a private or public infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud
running on commonly available physical hardware. This advisory includes
packages for:

• OpenStack Compute service ("nova").
• OpenStack Compute client ("python-novaclient").

OpenStack Compute (nova) launches and schedules large networks of virtual
machines, creating a redundant and scalable cloud computing platform.
Compute provides the software, control panels, and APIs required to
orchestrate a cloud, including running virtual machine instances and
controlling access through users and projects.

These packages also fix various bugs found in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
OpenStack Platform 4 release. Documentation for these bug fixes is
available in the Technical Notes document:
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_OpenStack_Platform/5/html/Technical_Notes/index.html
